title: 13C NMR Investigations of Spin-Lattice Relaxation in 99% 13C-Enriched Diamonds
abstract: The paper is devoted to investigations of spin-lattice relaxation processes in 99% 13C-enriched diamonds. Relaxation time measurements were performed as a function of orientation, magnetic field, and temperature. Both experimental results and theoretical discussion are presented. Multiexponential behavior of nuclear magnetization recovery was observed. There was found no significant influence of the diamond orientation on the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation. The field dependence of the spin-lattice relaxation time was found to be proportional to the second power of the magnetic field. The temperature measurements showed a weak increase of the spin-lattice relaxation time with decreasing temperature. Possible mechanisms of impurity relaxation are considered and compared with the experimental data. Copyright 1998 Academic Press. Copyright 1998 Academic Press
